I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Love is all around me
And so the feeling grows
It’s written on the wind
It’s everywhere I go
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show

Never Again after my first Smoking
I was fourteen when of my friend forced me to try smoking. After much persuasion I was in for a try. The very first inhalation of smoke affected my senses and a lot of things happened;
- My saliva turned soo sour that my throat couldn’t take anything beyond…
- I started coughing that bad…
- The smoke went directly to my brain that I got severe headache..
- My eyes turned red…
It took me almost 2-3 hours to get back to normal… Not sure if this was how it would be, experience of my first try was not that enjoyable…
That was my first and last try with smoking and then I Never Againwanted to give it a try…
My Mock Speech for my High School Alma Mater!!!
Today’s WordPress The Daily Post is Alma Mater: I’ve to speak at my high school alma mater — about the path of life. (Whoa.) I’ve to draft the speech.
When I goto my School and if I get an opportunity speak to the young lads, I’d be talking about winning attitude and to never convince their capacity based on their academic progress…
As a student I always had to live with the stigma of a incapable person, this was based on my academic performance. My prudence on sports and entrepreneurship were never recognised. Infact those skills were curtailed and discouraged based on my academic performance.
From my teachers to parents to my friends(who were above average at academics) never missed an opportunity to humiliate me, mock me, ridicule me and blackmail me.
I started believing that I was not a capable person. I lived a life without any self-esteem, self-belief and confidence.
Until I plunged into entrepreneurship I underrated my own capacity based on some third person who couldn’t even find my strengths and acknowledge those strengths.
So, my suggestion to you all is;
- Invent yourself!!!
- Believe in you strengths!!!
- Progress against criticism!!!
Always keep this quote in mind and march towards success and recognition!!
It doesn’t matter if you’re born in a duck yard, so long as you are hatched from a swan’s egg!
I hope my experience would have kindled your thought process and would have cleared the airs of some confused minds!!
I thank you all for the opportunity.

Quirk of Habit
Quirky Habit that annoys me the most:
I’ve this habit of not attending my phone calls. I always wanted to change this habit, but there were many situations I avoided a call, like;
- I’d have already spoken a lot for the day and I wanted some break from taking anymore for the day…
- Already my mind is fatigued because of work…
- When it was a bad day where nothing happened at work…
- When I was in a bad mood because of arguments with mother and wife…
- While on work or meetings…
- For unwanted marketing calls… That’s the reason I don’t pick calls from unknown numbers!!!
Quirky Habit I love the most:
I love the trait of being crazy… I call myself a Psycho Crazy Guy as I love the thrill of failing… The crazy things I did were;
- Published a bi-monthly tamil magazine for two years… The venture carried the risk for life as it was into investigative journalism.
- Co-produced a tamil feature film and the movie bombed..
- I invested till the last dime and lived the remaking days of the month with no money and survived…
- Started walking to office which is 16 KM from home. This I did sometime during 2012…
- Invested on real estate and made money… Kept reinvesting until I lost badly…
These are the Quirk of Habit of me and I don’t have any regrets for the annoying trait.. But I long for more crazy acts to be done in my life time…
Anamalai to Chennai Drive
Got up early in the morning and started driving from Anamalai to Chennai… Once started my drive it was full of calls just reached A2B near Perendurai Bypass!!
Until now it was call all the way;
- Got a call from Rooban and it was a general catchup call!!!
- Get got a call from Vadamalayan Hospital that our HR met with accident.
- Coordinated my IamCJ co-founder Dinesh to attend her in hospital.
- Upon reaching the hospital Dinesh called and said HR has fractured her leg…
- Then spoke to our Ravi Sir about the ESI mediclaim process and that was facilitated by him..
- Had a SOD call with Swami and things were planned for the day…
- Then it was a call with Bala about the franchisee agreement..
The advantage of having Bluetooth speaker really helps in improving the productivity on the drive…
Now it is continue the drive and work on follow up calls…
Also please pray for the quick recovery of our HR…
PS: Let us not open the debate of talking on the drive!! I believe talking over a hands free device is not a crime, but open to interpratations!!! Following article talks about the perceptions and let me open up a blog post separately for this debate!!!

The Stat Connection
Today’s WordPress The Daily Post topic is: The Stat Connection, where I’ve to pick my top 5 blog post and explain why they have been successful!!
QUALITIES OF PEOPLE BORN DURING FEBRUARY: This is my top performing blog.. Being born during the month of February, thought of posting some of my traits.. Never expected this four year old blog could strike chord with everyone born during February…
Also it is a surprise to see a lot of Feb born people commenting their acceptance of the trait :)… Another reason for the success of the post is the Keyword of the title which is a common search term… Getting around 30+ Google clicks for the post everyday…
IS DEMOCRACY GOOD FOR INDIA?: This blog was written out of frustration after 26/11 Mumbai attacks… I was wondering how a city-country like Singapore which is ruled by a single person can be soo safe..
The blog is seven years old and again the title is a common search term and all the click comes from Google…
M.KARUNANIDHI FAMILY TREE: Six years back uploaded a picture of Karunanidhi’s family tree. For those who are not familiar with Karunanidhi. He is ex-chief minister of the state of Tamil Nadu in India. He has officially 3 wife’s, half a dozen children and a dozen grandchildren..
He is mostly ridiculed because, have more than 3 wife is not a common practice in our times in our society. Also most of his family members dominate the state in politics, movies and business. This is the most admired and hated family in the state…
So, there is no doubt why people search for his famil tree and again Google gives all the clicks…
WHICH IS A BETTER CAREER CHOICE? COW FARM OR PROGRAMMER: This blog was recently posted and it is the mostly shared feed in my FaceBook… I see most of the people could make immediate connect with this reality 🙂
IRIDIAM MOVIE EXPERIENCE – RETROSPECTION: This is all a new blog post where I shared my experience of co-producing a tamil feature film. I’ve shared both the good and bad experience along with the reasons for movie’s failure!! Anything related to movie gives good strike rate because we are a movie crazy society!!
Never been so busy!!!
This is a very interesting phase in life where I’m engaged with many parallel things and still enjoying every bit of it!!!
- Cogzidel Technologies management and daily calls with Sam and other important stakeholders…
- Working on the Coffee Project. Though Bala is doing the major task, working on plans, calls with Bala, follow ups with Ravi and working on the future roadmap!!!
- Working with IamCJ.in with Dinesh, as usual collaborating with Dinesh on a daily basis, as we are on the pilot run. Working aggressively to move the project to Alpha stage!!!
- Spending an hour everyday for the new crowdfunding project I’m working.
- Apart from this the tiny contribution to Wife and Mother…
- Working with SBI Bank for the home loan processing…
- Write one blog a day…
Thought there are hiccups, it is interesting as I measure the results on a day basis and working as tasks helps me to measure the progress of every task…
Never been so engaged. Also I’m enjoying this phase because it doesn’t puts me into stress, because I’m not struck on any engagement and have the option of working with some other task if I’m struck. For example last we(Bala & me)got struck with the Bank Wire Transfer issue and for 3-4 days it was taking us to dead ends… At such times we went out for a movie, blogged the frustration, worked on the coffee project and tried Wire Transfer Task again… Small progress on a daily basis kept us progressing and in a week the task got completed..
Wish this phase busy & interesting phase continues….
